1. Yes, I've seen the pictures :O I meant as far as the dimensions, not the weight. I will look into it further and ask the Post Office about the max size of a box coming in. I was unable to get a monitor shipped to me so based on that I figured the frame would be too large.
2. Haha, no need to import fat women... there are plenty already here. I meant the 20-30 pound sections of the vest, which appears to be a dumb/costly idea.
3. I'm sure there is, I'll have to search around and get a friend to take me to one if there is one not too far away.
4. Thanks for the tip about buying a Bergen, after googling it seems they have a soft frame and would be easy to ship.
My apologies for the first post, I should have gone into detail more about the situation so as not to seem like a lazy shmuck looking for a quick fix. Thanks for your help TR.
